COMBINED HAT AND BAG.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. '7, 1920.

Application filed September 2, i919. Serial'No. 321,063;

To all'witom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JULIUS ROSENZW'EIG, a citizen of the United States,residing at 863 Home street, Bronx, New York city, New York, haveinventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Combined Hats and Bags,of which the following is a specifica ticn, reference being had thereinto the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements incombined hats and bags and it has for its objects among others toprovide a simplified and cheap combination article embodying a hat and abag for ladies use, the two being combined when used as a bag andseparable so that the two members may be used each independently of theother and for its own individual purpose. The two members are soconstructed that when the two are united and used as a bag, there isnothing to show but what it is simply a bag, the hat member serving asthe outer receptacle and the bag proper being suspended from the upperedge thereof and within the hat.

The article may be made up in different kinds of goods and all kinds offancy leather, the top portions of the bag being made of tortoise-shell,metal or any other desired material.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will hereinafter appearand the novel features thereof will be particularly pointed out in theappended claims.

The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings,which, with the numerals of reference marked thereon, form a part ofthis specification, and in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of thedevice in its entirety, showing the two menr bers united and designedfor use as a bag.

Fig. 2 is an elevation looking at the opposite side of that seen in Fig.1.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the two members separated and thebag partially removed from the hat.

Fig. 4c is a substantially central vertical ing at the upper edge theband 2 which constitutes the top front portion when used as a hat, asseen in F 5, the same being secured at its top edge to the top edge ofthe main portion of the hat, as seen at 3 in 1. This band or top portionhas its ends free forming the flaps at, as seen in Figs. 1. and '8.

Upon the inner face of the hat portion at the rear of the band 2 are thefemale members 5 of snap fasteners while upon the inner face of thefront top band portion (3, which is of elastic material within a shirredcasing 7, as seen best in Fig. 4-, are the female members 8 of snapfasteners.

, The bag near its upper end at the front at the center is provided witha tab or the like 9 which is provided with, a female portion 10 of asnap fastener, the snap fasteners being of any well-known or approvedform of construction. This constitutes the hat portion and whenseparated from the other member is designed for use upon the head as ahat, as seen in Fig. 5. r

The inner member of bag comprises the body portion 11 of any suitablematerial, preferably of the same nature as the hat portion, of smallerdimensions than the latter and designed to be loosely received withinthe same, as will be best understood upon reference to F ig. 4. At theupper front edge of the mouth there is a shirred casing 12 in which isan elastic similar to that at the upper edge of the hat member and atthe center of this front portion is a tab 13 provided with a femalemember 14: of a snap fastener, as seen best in Fig. 3.

The outer end of the bag is provided with an extension or flap member 15upon the under side of which at the widest point is a male member 16adapted to cooperate with the female member 14 when used as a bag alone,and with the female member 10 of the snap fastener on the tab 9 when thetwo members are used together.

The flap member 15 is passed through a slot 17 in the tortoise-shell ormetal member 18, as seen best in Fig. 3, the portion of this memberbelow the slot being covered by the material of the bag, as at 19, asseen clearly in Fig. 3, this portion 19 being secured in position andprovided with the male members 20 adapted to cooperate with the femalemembers 8 on the inner face of the upper edge of the shirred portion 6of the cap member.

The ends of the member 18 are provided with male portions 21 of snapfasteners which are designed to cooperate with the female portions5 onthe band 2 of the hat when the two members are used together.

The member 18 is shown as provided with slots 22 at its ends for thereception and attachment of a handle portion 23 by which the bag may becarried 1n the hand.

In practice, when it is desired to use the outer member as a hat, thesnap fasteners are disengaged and the bag portion is re moved from thehat portion when the latter may be applied to the head, as seen in Fig.5. The bag portion can then be used solely as a bag, the mouth thereofbeing closed by engagement of the male member 16 with the female member14 of the cooperating snap fastener members.

When it is not desired to use the outer member as a hat, the bag memberproper is placed within the hat member 1 and the snap fastener members21 and 5 are engaged with each other and the snap fastener members 20and 8 are engaged with each other, when the male member 16 of the bag isengaged in the female member lO of the tab 9 of the hat member and thetwo parts are united and the mouth of the bag closed. When the malemember 16 is disengaged from the female member 10, the mouth of the bagis open and both the bag and the hat member serve as receptacles forhandkerchiefs or other articles.

The members, as a whole or separately, may be made as ornamental inappearance as desired and the device in its entirety is simple in theextreme, yet most serviceable for the purpose for which it is designed.

Modifications in details may be resorted to without departing from thespirit of the invention or sacrificing any of its advantages.

' What is claimed as new is 1. A combined hat and bag wherein theclosure to the bag serves both with the bag proper and with the hatmember the hat and bag being distinct members, and means for detachablyuniting the two members, one member being receivable within the other.

- 2. A device of the class described, embodying a hat member withportions of separable fasteners, a bag member receivable within the hatmember and having cooperating members of separable fasteners, and a flapto the bag adapted to serve as a closure for the bag both when usedseparately or with the hat member.

3. A device of the class described, embodying a hat member, and a bagmember receivable within the latter, and means for detachably unitingthe two whereby the hat member serves as a receptacle when the membersare united.

at. A device of the class described, com-. prising a hat member and abag member receivable within the latter, means for detachably unitingthe two whereby the hat member serves as a receptacle when the membersare united, and a closure cooperable with the hat member when said twomembers are used together.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of twowitnesses.
